    Writing an Algorithm

    Recapitulation
    • Remember that an algorithm is a formal sequence of instructions of
    how to solve a problem.
    • In essence it is the recipe for solving a problem
    Declaring variables
    • In lesson 3 we learnt how to identify and name variables. Today we
    will learn how to declare variables.
    • When declaring a variable you give a suitable name and identify the
    data type
    What is a datatype?
    • This is simply saying what type of data will your variable (container)
    hold.
    • Just as how you have a bag (container) to hold books, a wallet
    (container) to store money and cards, a bottle (container) to store
    water.
    • There are 4 basic data types in algorithm.
    Datatypes

    Textual Numerical
    • Character: This is used to hold a • Integer: This is used when the
    single character for example a desire is to store a whole
    letter or symbol. number for example number of
    students in class.
    • String: This is used to hold a
    group of characters for example • Real: This is used to hold a
    the name of a person decimal value for example price
    of an item
    Let’s declare some variables
    • Write an algorithm that accepts the price and quantity of an item and
    print the total price.

    • Declare price as REAL


    • Declare Quantity as INTEGER
    • Declare Total Price as REAL
    Activity 1
    Identify and declare the variables in the problem statement below:
    • Write an algorithm that accepts 4 grades and print the average grade.
    Types of Algorithm
    • An algorithm may be represented as a pseudocode, flowchart or
    narrative.
    Pseudocode
    • This is a detailed yet readable description of what a computer
    program or algorithm must do, expressed in a formally-styled natural
    language rather than in a programming language.
    Let’s Write a pseudocode
    1) All algorithms will begin with the keyword START and end with STOP.
    • Therefore go ahead and write :
    START

    Leave space to enter the Recipe

    STOP
    Cont’d writing pseudocode
    • Take all the instructions that are under the P column in your defining
    diagram and insert between START and STOP.
    START
    PRINT “Enter the quantity”
    INPUT quantity
    PRINT “Enter the price”
    INPUT price
    Total_Price=Price*Quantity
    PRINT “The total price is”, Total_Price
    STOP
    Cont’d writing pseudocode
    • Declare the variables immediately under the keyword START
    START
    • Declare price as REAL
    • Declare Quantity as INTEGER
    • Declare Total Price as REAL

    PRINT “Enter the quantity”


    INPUT quantity
    PRINT “Enter the price”
    INPUT price
    Total_Price=Price*Quantity
    PRINT “The total price is”, Total_Price
    STOP
    Now move to the NEXT Page
    Activity 2
    Write a pseudocode for the following problem statement:

    • Write an algorithm that accepts 4 grades and print the average grade.
